Just realized trog was the one who hadn't gone and I just hadn't rolled for his actions... Doesn't make much sense that AD still wants to use this as his turn, but whatever...

"YAY! ME ALIVE! TROG NO LIKE AFTERLIFE, TO MUCH FIRE AND EVIL MONSTERS. IT'S BETTER HERE. THANKS FOR THE CPR KOSHU, BUT YOU STILL TRIED TO KILL ME SO, SORRY! NO HARD FEELINGS, RIGHT?"


TROG: He Heals himself using his cockroach regenerative abilities!
Gort: Personally Mummify Koshu's Cult!
KONG: SMASH Koshu!
75 Mummies: Mummify The Inquisitor Filth!
75 Mummies: Guard TROG and Age anybody who comes near! Please keep in mind that TROG'S Species is Immortal.
New Mummies: Age The Nearest Smokestack Factory to dust to Fight Pollution and Cripple Industry!
25 Aging Anarchist Cultists: Recruit More Cultists! But this time, Try to recruit Naturalists and Wilderness Survivalists!
New Cultists: Recruit some More Naturalists and Survivalists!

Regenerate: [irrelevant] Your blood runs cold on the muddy ground. You try to heal but can't. Death is quieter than you had imagined.
Raid on Koshu: [2] Gort's too busy shoving his limbs back into place after being bombarded by a flying metal shell. Kong decides to take a nap instead.
Mummy attack: [2] They don't understand your instructions. Stupid mummies with their whole "brain removed at death" thing
Recruit: [irrelevant] All your nobody tries to find support and cannot seem to interact with people. Oh well.
CURSE: Flies
[4] Flies swarm your base. They annoy Kong and try to eat Gort and his minions. (Flies attacking GORT)

Inquisitors: do nothing because you're all dead

((... by the way, the ancient Egyptians actually had beer, and possibly wine. Look it up. And another thing: have you considered running an Evil Mastermind sort of thing with this system?))

((have you considered running an Evil Mastermind sort of thing with this system?))

I haven't, but feel free to do so yourself. It sounds interesting, if you do it I might even participate as a player.

[Aslandus]

Humanity
Attack TROG's stuff:
[3] GORT gets gunned down, sand is pouring out of his body and he's rapidly weakening (GORT mortally wounded)

Attack CARP's minion: (since you haven't been summoned)
[1] They accidentally feed GOEAR even more people (GOEAR gain 75 mass, +1 physique)

Remove ihatecarp.com for association with Unescargot
[2] They decide against it since they hate carp even more than they hate Unescargot.

((is there any way to deactivate inquisitors?))

[Aslandus]

((is there any way to deactivate inquisitors?))

((Killing them/getting rid of them all (like carp did) or losing so much that they run out of things to do (like Tavern Wench did) are the main ways, but deactivating them and still having them around doesn't do much considering that anyone can just reactivate them))

[FallacyofUrist]

[carp]

i had a brain wave for a horror i'll post it now so i can reference it when the next game starts its just a really good eyedea (hehe)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: FRAGDRAGÜL THE REPELLENT
Abilities:
-absorb: absorb other horrors and add their power and physique to fragdragüls
-infection: you get plagued or infected with parasites if you touch it or it's slime
-pulls a being into one of it's pores
-writhe: look really disgusting
-float: it always floats and can float any where like into space
-space farer: can't spend more than a day in atmosphere
-squirt: closes all pores forcing a massive amount of slime through its mouth
-the darkness within: fragdragül can bring bring the darkest thoughts of the subconscious into the front of the mind.
Appearance: A floating eyeball the size of a city dripping yellowish green sludge from its many gaping pores and constantly covered in parasites scrabbling all over its surface through its many greenish yellow tentacles and in and out of its many pores and orifices.
Occasionally through it's pores as they slowly dilate and contract you can see, its gigantic brain hanging at the top of the mind boggling emptiness clinging to the sagging flesh inside. at the bottom is a swamp of digestive juices and half digested meals that constantly move and mutedly squelch. All around are massive sails of flesh that absorb the air to fuel it's body, in the centre suspended by veins, muscle, and sinew you can see the massive heart cloaked in the rotting intestines of many long dead beings.
In the middle of a huge clump of greenish red tentacles at the back is an enormous gaping maw filled with thousands of teeth of all shapes and sizes that can rotate and extend individually. In the front its giant iris is filled and coloured with the partially rotted corpses of many beings both alien and familiar at the centre it's massive pupil looms seeing all and all seen if you gaze into its centre your deepest horrors will come true in your mind. As real for you as a rock on the ground but for your friends and family you will just be a raving madman. people will not deny this being for it stems from their own mind an amalgamation of the horrors of the subconcious.

Homeworld: a plane of eternal nothingness no day no night no light no dark the monsters writhe in the eternal blank where nothing thrives except nightmares and hate of many beings wherein life dies and death thrives ages drag on into eternity's of torment, this is not a realm of shadows for shadows require both light and dark here there is nothing but pain and suffering fueling the dark lives, of the abominations of the imagination this is the place behind the eyes where life stems but also the end of life the destruction of love the subconcious of nightmares the darkness that lurks inside of everyone the darkest of thoughts the most horrendous emotions in these depths it seems everything deserves to die these are the voices that say "put your hand in the fire", "jump off the building", "push her in the fire", "throw him off  the building" here is where the horrors of other dimensions stand no ground where all repulsion all hate all disgust stems, a force more powerful than any physical realm any material force the hatred of universes the destruction of all.
-Presence: 0(the parasites and stuff are only if you actually touch him)
-Mindlock: 1(has a brain the size of a city though it's pretty easy to access)
-Power: 3(just look at this thing)
-Physique: 0(is made from the horrors of the mind)
-Appeal: 1(comes from the mind some of it lurks within us all)
goal: to drag out the suffering of the many and steal the thoughts of the few.

Yeah, I wouldn't actually let you use that in a game because the power to absorb other horrors and gain their power is OP (the only reason I made GOEAR able to gain power at all is because he does it by wrecking your armies, which are arguably much more useful than a giant, carnivorous mound of flesh).

Also you have no points in power or presence yet have a lot of abilities that would require them (in practice I would just say "you do a thing but it has no effect" because you don't have any stat points to support the action)

also, there's a big dissonance between what you say you are (hideous and detestable) and what your stats say (you could woo the world yourself if you wanted). In practice I would handwave this by saying something like "they see the inner you" or "you hypnotize them with your unwavering gaze" but it's still a thing to keep in mind (unless stat dissonance is exactly what you were going for). Feel free to mull over more horror ideas though, even if you don't use any of them it's fun to come up with them (I know, I've made several already as sub horrors).

Also, sorry about the delays guys, but it's the middle of finals and I'm a bit busy. I'll update this weekend with more horror-y "goodness".

he was going for stat dissonance

yeah i decided to make the detestable horrible repulsive thing i could imagine (which is why the powers were like that) and give it
a five in appeal and when it absorbs other horrors it only adds it's strength and power stats i should change it to strength or power.


p.s. do you think i wrote that well?
